Need Help with Sweet 16 Halloween Party Ideas

I am doing a Vampire theme for my daughter's bday as well. She's 14 but in high school so all her friends are older. We are covering one room with visqueen (cheep and solid black) and used glow in the dark paint and are creating a dance club. The paint was flicked on the visqueen so when lit under black lights it looks like blood splatter. We are naming it either "Club Vein" or "Pulse."

We are spreading the theme throughout many rooms as well. We also have a sitting area in another room that has a piano lounge vibe to it. Lots of candelabras and black and red. Draped fabric over any lights. We got these little square black lacquer tables from IKEA for $7.99 and they work perfectly for cocktail tables. I am renting little black bistro chairs and wrapping some red velvet fabric around them and using brooches and tassles to bind them in the back. I have some major cool labels and stuff that I would be happy to share. Just let me know and I can post for you.

For her cake - I am putting a dagger directly into a red velvet cake with blank fondant on top. It's being set next to a mirror on a stand that I will have "Happy Birthday Samantha" on it - instead of the cake. I am using a silver eye pen to write it to give it a more gothic feel.

We are using a lot of the gothic looking and glitter halloween items for decor. Target is expensive but has got a ton of cool stuff for this theme. I can keep going down the ideas if you want - just don't want to ramble if you want a different vibe. :+)

Visqueen is sheets or rolls of black plastic. They sell something similar in the party store for $19.99 for 50 feet which just isn't cost effective for an entire room. They sell this material at Lowes or Home Depot in the garden department for around $10 and it will more than cover the room. This will darken the room a lot which is what we are going for because she wants a glow in the dark room. We are handing out all sorts of glow bracelets and glow sticks, etc. Michaels is the place to go for the bracelets. 15 for $1. If you register on their website you can get access to a 20% entire purchase coupon and then they are down to $.80 which is just madness.

We are moving the furniture out for the dance club into the garage. We have little coffee tables that are basically 2 of the ikea tables combined and we are using those as benches instead to line the walls with. For the benches we are taking rope light as well and putting it around the underneath of the table to help it give off a glow.

Here are some drink/favor labels to use. If they don't come through send me a private message and I can email them to you. They might be too big for the site.

Ty I went out today and got some material and cheese cloth. I think I am still going to cover the walls in the living room making them black, but I went with the weed material instead of the visqueen. I also want to do something with the roof. I am thinking that the creepy cloth may come in handy for that. Then of course I bought cheese cloth which I am sure will add a nice effect. I want to have a silhouette on the big picture window in the living room. Since the room is going to be "vampire nightclub" I want to go with the vampire theme for the silhouette. I am just not sure what to use. Any ideas? I think the nightclub is actually going to end up being more of a parlour area because my daughter has now requested scarey movies to be shown in there. Also looking for ideas for an easy fence for our graveyard.

Thanks

what i did in my bathroom for a few years during our halloween parties was to find some old clothes and a cheap wig, get a bag of balloons and blow them up and fill the clothes with the blown up balloons then make the tub half full of fake blood and let the body float then you could write redrum on the bathroom wall (hang plastic wrap so you don't mess up your walls) it is cheap and easy and i got a lot of complaments on the scene and idea during our parties. i also have a fence for my cemetery that was made with scraps of interior trim nailed in wierd angles so it looks old and creepy the two posts that surround the opening are longer and i have skull hung on them. you could also get some halloween string lights to hang around your club room you can probably find strands of solid red lights which would go good with your vampire theme. If you wanted to cast a large shadow through your front window get a spot light and shine it on the object towards your window you can play with the distance to the light to change the shadow. you could even cut the object out of cardboard since it will only be a shadow with out a lot of detail
